Xu Yunyan had no way to answer Xu Yunyue's prompt, so he had to push her aside to count the unexpected things among the gifts sent today, while he was pondering over whether he could take her to Chang'an.
Seeing the enthusiastic Xu Yunyue turning over and over in the chase, Xu Yunyan whispered from behind.
"Yue'er, you said that if you went to Chang'an with swords and swords, would you still go?"
Yue'er didn't even raise his head, "Brother will definitely protect me."
This sentence made Xu Yunyan feel warm in his heart. "You just believe that your brother will protect you? My brother can't even protect his own wealth and life, let alone protect yours."
Xu Yunyan said this very clearly and calmly, and he was the only one listening. Yue'er was still looking through the belongings, and soon found some items that Xu Yunyan had never thought of.
Among the belongings of the governor Liu Jian was a letter. The envelope was not addressed to anyone, but Xu Yunyan knew very well that it was for him.
After receiving the letter, Xu Yunyan touched Yue'er's head, "Good boy Yue'er, please find a place to put all these belongings. I'll go back and see what's going on with this letter." With that, he walked towards his courtyard. Walk among them.
Yue'er didn't pay attention to Xu Yunyan's weird actions, and was still happily rummaging through the belongings. When she saw this letter, Xu Yunyan knew that it was from the King of Qin to whom Liu Jian was loyal, even before he opened it. Even if it wasn't written by King Qin himself, it was written by King Qin's confidant.
While Xu Yunyan was struggling here, there was a different scene in Beijing. In the Prince of Qin's Palace, Li Shimin was considering how to counterattack the prince Li Jiancheng after being subjected to a series of restrictions by Li Yuan.
Changsun Wuji was also there constantly offering suggestions and advice to Li Shimin, but Changsun Wuji couldn't help but change the subject when he saw that Li Shimin was still unhappy after hearing his strategy.
"Your Highness, at least the salt and iron transfer envoy has been removed by us and replaced by someone who is neither on the side of Prince Li Jiancheng nor on our side. Although we have not won a decisive victory, as long as the prince does not control the salt and iron For the Transportation Department, we can say that we are victorious.”
Li Shimin finally nodded happily after hearing the news, "Yes, you did a good job this time."
After receiving the praise from Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji still felt a little regretful. He did not solve the problem of Xu Yunyan, the salt and iron transfer envoy, and let him go unpunished. He kept writing letters to other ministers saying that a salt and iron transfer envoy must be found. After a trustworthy person took over, Li Yuan was indeed as cautious as he expected. After the Taixue students learned the production process and transportation method of the salt, he actually replaced Xu Yunyan, the first salt and iron transfer envoy of the Eye Patch Transfer Department. What's the point of just dragging him into the capital?
Although Changsun Wuji didn't know exactly what Li Yuan was going to do, there was no way to say that Li Shimin was indecisive. He didn't target Xu Yunyan, and he was just waiting for news here.
"Why hasn't the person I arranged to go out sent a message back for so long? Could it be that these elite deadpools can't even deal with such a fledgling kid?"
Just when they were thinking about their own things, Li Shimin sighed.
"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be. Hou Junji is standing with us no matter what. He said that Xu Yunyan's heart is with us. Why is it like this? Is our information wrong? Or is Xu Yunyan acting like this on the surface? I deliberately showed it to Prince Li Jiancheng, so it is necessary to contact him again."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he guessed that Xu Yunyan might want to seek Changsun Wuji's advice on their decision-making.
Changsun Wuji waved his hand, "Your Highness would rather kill by mistake than let go. As long as he is really a two-faced person seeking benefits from us and also looking for benefits from Li Jiancheng, he will hit us hard at the critical moment. This is really There is nothing to say.
What's more, General Hou Junji and he are just brothers in name. They have never been in contact and have only met once. Isn't it a bit childish to trust him like this? "
Changsun Wuji said that Li Shimin was also a little worried.
"Then let's take it one step at a time and make a decision based on the future situation."
Changsun Wuji finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Li Shimin decide to give up on Xu Yunyan, but Li Shimin remembered his arrangements for contact with Xu Yunyan.
"Is he really such a person? But when did a person who was willing to fight the Turks bloody for the people of Yunzhou, and who was also chivalrous and caring for the country and the people, turned into such a profit-driven guy?"
Li Shimin was busy studying Xu Yunyan's affairs here, while Li Jiancheng was drinking happily here.
After those Taixue students returned with the prince who delivered the edict, they not only had to meet Li Yuan to thank him for arranging positions for them, but after receiving their official status and other items, they took the time to come to the East Palace to thank Li Jiancheng here.
"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"
The people who came to express their gratitude were those who had been loyal to Li Jiancheng in Taixue, and their words made Li Jiancheng even more happy. He felt that Xu Yunyan was good, he actually took care of his own people, and even dealt with Li Shimin face to face. This guy makes him feel that this guy is his best friend and can be entrusted with important responsibilities.
It happened that some people were encouraging Li Yuan to replace him. Replacing a salt and iron transfer envoy who Li Yuan could control and who had no quarrel with Li Yuan, this time Li Jiancheng used his network to finally transfer Xu Yunyan to the capital.
But what will Xu Yunyan do after coming to the capital now? Li Jiancheng was stumped again. Li Jiancheng looked at the think tank Li Gang in front of him. Wei Zheng and others couldn't help but ask.
"Gentlemen, could you please consider how we should arrange for Xu Yunyan, a strong man who has shown his loyalty to us?"
Li Jiancheng is right to say that he is a strong general. Xue Wanche, the number one general under Li Jiancheng, is his prisoner. Is there anyone more brave than him?
Li Jiancheng has spoken, and his think tank Li Gang, Wei Zheng and others will find a good place for Xu Yunyan.
However, they thought about it but there was nothing suitable. But while they were thinking about it, Xue Wanche broke in.
"Your Highness, something bad happened. According to reliable information, King Qin Li Shimin should have arranged for someone to assassinate Xu Yunyan, but he failed."
Hearing the news, Li Jiancheng laughed directly: "This is not a big deal. This is a good thing. It makes Xu Yunyan loyal to us. My second brother did something very useful to me." "
